Fimo Modelling Clay

Fimo Eberhard Faber makes a range of art craft products they are a member of the German STAEDTLER group. One of the products they make is Fimo. Fimo is modelling clay. I can remember my teenage daughter really enjoying making trinkets and jewellery from Fimo and I was in a shop recently and saw some for sale and it brought back memories.

I once did a whole speech in my English class about the ...  Read the complete review

Fimo is available in five different varieties, these ...  Read the complete review
